Introduction

The 42 Traverse is a challenging multi-use 46 km track through the Tongariro Forest Conservation Area.

4WD vehicles, quad bikes and motorbikes can use either end of the track, but not the full track due to a large landslip. Mountain bikers and trampers can use the full track via a bypass.
